When I was younger, all I wanted to do was be older. I had an older brother who I thought was the coolest. He got to do all the cool things (you know...because he was older than me). I often look at old photos and think how silly I was to wish my age away.
Another saying is ... "You're as old as you feel". I honestly don't feel my age (at least my perception on how a 37 year old should feel). I think I look younger than 37 ;-) I often get carded (ID'd)... still to this day! Now on the other hand, I like to go to bed early...LOL... 9 p.m. early! I would say my "feel age" can vary from a 21 year old to an 80 year old depending what's going on in my life.
When I do feel my age is when I look at people around me. For example, my grandfather, my parents, and even our young employees (some of them were born the year I graduated from school).
While I was writing this post this song was going through my mind. This has to be one of my favorite songs (@jaynie... this is my "TRACKOFTHEDAY" maybe even my "TRACKOFMYLIFE"
Life is about living in the present, enjoying the experience and embracing the inevitable.
